Loriann,

That was so nice. I can't think of too many people that would THANK me for

bring Seth anywhere. LOL My friends love Seth, but they love their homes,

possessions and sanity too! LOL I have lost all of that because of Seth's

PICA. LOL

I've really been blessed with my church. They are so accepting of . The

best story I have, happened over the 4th of July. We went to a picnic, at a

public picnic/beach area. Should have been a signal. DH and I alternated

between watching (read - running around like chickens) and sitting with

in his playpen. All of a sudden, DH comes running up, " I lost ! "

The 3 most dreaded words. We sent out search parties.....DH found him at a site

across the way (big park) where they had the ball thingie and a clown. Needless

to say, we were ready to leave. We had an interim pastor at the time (our

regular associate pastor, who was " filling in " until we could find a regular

one). He said as we left, " Thanks for bringing by. " Not, " Nice to see

you, " or whatever else he could say, but thanks for bringing .

And yes, I am going to miss them very much. Our situation here is unique for

military bases. We've seen so many good friends leave. At the point where we

are now, I'll only be leaving about 3 really good friends that I will miss

terribly. Makes it bitter-sweet to leave.....

Gail & Loriann,

I know what you mean! Friends and family that haven't seen for a

long time will say something like, oh, don't worry, he can't hurt anything!

LOL!! Little do they know! LOL I would prefer that people come here. He

does things like rip down blinds and curtains, knock over lamps, etc. At a

family Christmas party we went to in December, he got to a window display

before dh or I could grab his hands....so much for that! LOL It tends to

make you just a teensy bit TENSE!! LOL I can't remember anybody ever

telling us thank you for bringing by...except maybe a doc! LOL
